I’m catch­ing Dolly up on the kitchen coun­ters late­ly. She’s nev­er had the gall to do so before. Nick’s the­o­ry is that she was real­ly bored and knew she was alone dur­ing the Christmas hol­i­days, so she just jumped up one day and learned that it’s pos­si­ble. She knows that she’s not sup­posed to because as soon as she hears one of us walk­ing to the kitchen, she’ll jump down to the floor and give us the hon­est kit­ty look. The one where she stands at atten­tion with the big eyes, head slight­ly tilt­ed to one side. Yeah. She’s an evil kit­ty.
